About Andy »

I'm a huge fan of pretty much anything Minnesota. I come from a very small town in NW Minnesota and am loving it! I am a self-proclaimed sports fanatic, though maybe more of an NFL/MLB fanatic. I live for football and can't stand the 7 months we are forced to watch anything else!

I can't stand NASCAR, but I suppose it's one of those things you have to see live, like soccer.

I do have an appreciation for many NFL/MLB teams, but my primary focus is on Minnesota teams. My knowledge extends a little further than that though. :)

If you ever have a question, feel free to leave a note on my BB. If you want me to read one of your articles for commenting or editing purposes, simply give me the link and directions!

The Raiders overall record facing KC since 2001 is 5-14. Three of those wins have come in the past three seasons. Can they sweep the Chiefs?

Hey man, I really like your articles.

I am a member of a pretty good sports forum and I was wondering if you would like to check it out and post when you can. It has great discussions, and we are going to be having a writing team, and you would be able to join and post your articles etc.

Let me know if you want the URL and I'll be happy to give it to you. Let me know though. Thanks bud.
